For three decades, the Gillespie County community has come together for an evening of fun, fellowship and generosity, but the real celebration has always been about something much bigger.

The Gillespie County Fair Association will host its 30th Annual GCFFA Scholarship Fest on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the Gillespie County Fairgrounds.

This year's Hawaiian themed event marks three decades of neighbors, businesses and community organizations coming together to help local students pursue their dreams through higher education.
